How long will Kempe be out?

 

[shuchukfan]

I thought PLD was advertised as having a mean streak…dudes a waste of size

He does have a mean streak...in his underwear.

 

[Rick Knickleback]

I’m actually not opposed to calling Clarke up now if Englund continues to look sub par. He’s been tearing it up and he’d help the pp. I‘m glad we kept him down but I think it’s almost time.

Ckarke’s call up if long overdue for a few different reasons.

 

[King'sPawn]

So...
1) I thought Englund and players like him were supposed to stop plays like the headshot on Kempe?
2) speaking of which, why was Englund out on the PK?

We should all know by now that the Oilers are never out of it. Not when they have a line that the league hasn't completely figured out yet.

They'll never move DD off PP1.. and 25 seconds on PP2 isnt going to help much.. still I do want him up here practicing and getting in games... Kings needs some more dynamism from the blue line

 

[Reaper45]

I would 100% put Kaliyev and Roy in a package for a guy like Crouse

I think it’s past the point of Arizona being willing. Gotta look to the east coast. Hey former Kings prospect Eyssimont is 11th in the league in PIM’s.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Only way Clarke gets called up is if several D-men go down.

 

[Bandit]

Jesus Christ Byfield is a FAUCET

 

[kilowatt]

I really don't think that dude meant to headshot Kempe, looked incidental to me. Never saw him in my opinion.

Too many sunsets and causes have softened his heart

Dynamism from the blue line, size and toughness in the bottom six and a long term solution for goal. Roy, Lizotte and Kaliyev should all be available for any and all of the above.

I agree. But my point earlier still stands. When was the last time the Kings did that to someone else outside of Lizotte falling and injuring Vilardi?

 

[Trash Panda]

Well, this game has all the hallmarks of the traditional Edmonton victory.

i think when you accidentally run into someone's head you have at least a minor instinct of looking, you don't just cut your turn and start skating away while acting like you didn't know

Lets go with the acronym expansion for tonites game.. Ill go with: Plain Lack of Drive

 

[LeftKinger]

Too many sunsets and causes have softened his heart

Him asking to be called by a different name and rebranding says all you need to know about this dudes priorities

The dude saw him coming over the boards and took a shot. Too bad the refs didn't even bother to look for a major penalty which seem to be very common this year.

Forget Kane, if I’m punching an oiler in the face it’s that chickenshit f*** Draisaitl.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

By the way that douchebag EDM plug had plenty of time to move out of the collision course with Kempe. He did a no-look whoopsie doodle check and pretended he didn't. f*** him

Isnt it hard to believe this is his shtick? He's a top 10 player and he resorts to Avery level antics - and he's not even funny

 

[Shellz]

Kempe is back!! Hopefully it’s the right choice

 

[kingsfan28]

Lets go Juice!

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Kempe is back!! Hopefully it’s the right choice

Head replacement surgery is already scheduled for tomorrow so why not throw him back out there

 

[Bandit]

Yes. “Kempe’s head” collided with f***stick nobody’s shoulder.

Yes. “Kempe’s head” collided with f***stick nobody’s shoulder.

JFK's head collided with the bullet
